I have a question.. How many Dr. Who books are there?
ReplyDeleteHello Mimi, there are hundreds of Doctor Who books out there, with new ones coming out every week.
DeleteI've got over a hundred and I'm still no closer to collect most of them.
I liked Tom Baker He was good, it was a return to Quirky . . . .
ReplyDeleteRob Tom Baker is my favourite Doctor along with Patrick Troughton. Baker's Doctor was mad as well as funny, especially as Pertwee's Doctor was so calm and serious.
Delete4th Dr. is the one I most remember aka Tom Baker. loved reading this ;]
ReplyDeleteThank you Hey J. I think that Tom Baker's Doctor is the most well remembered. But I think that's because he is the longest running Doctor, after playing him for seven years.
DeleteOh, this is excellent. I am only just starting to watch Dr. Who now (I know, shocking!) and I have no clue what the history has been. Your blog will be a great remedial course for me :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Kianwi. I hope that you will find the stuff that is coming up interesting, especially the monsters and alien parts.
DeleteExcellent blog!
ReplyDeleteThank you. (Whoa, that's a long name)
DeleteJust use Shea. It really is a long blog name but it's descriptive.
DeleteOk I will. Thank you.
